Q: What ages can attend Fitclub?
A: We welcome members of all ages from 5 years and up. Our classes are designed to be adaptable for various fitness levels and age groups, making Fitclub a perfect option for families looking to develop healthy habits together.
Q: Can I bring my child to workouts?
A: Yes! Parents are welcome to bring their children any day. If they're 5 years or older, they're welcome to participate in the workout. This family-friendly policy makes Fitclub an especially valuable option for parents looking for an affordable gym that accommodates family logistics.
Q: Do you offer nutrition guidance with your fitness programs?
A: Yes! Proper nutrition is crucial for achieving fitness goals. Fitclub provides detailed nutritional guidance through the 1st Phorm App. Our certified advisors help members optimize their diet through whole foods and strategic supplementation to ensure proper macro and micronutrient intake.
Q: What is HIIT training and why do you focus on it?
A: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or rest. This approach burns more calories in less time than steady-state cardio, continues to burn calories after your workout (the "afterburn effect"), preserves muscle while targeting fat loss, and delivers results in just 30 minutes or less per session.
Q: Who can participate in your classes?
A: HIIT training at Fitclub is adaptable for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced athletes. The key is working at your personal maximum during the high-intensity intervals. Our trainers provide modifications for all exercises to ensure everyone can participate successfully and safely.
Q: How should I prepare for my first class?
A: For the best experience:
- Wear comfortable workout clothes and supportive athletic shoes
- Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated during the workout
- Eat a light meal or snack 1-2 hours before class
- Arrive 15-20 minutes early to meet your instructor and prepare mentally
- Let your instructor know about any injuries or limitations you may have
Q: Will HIIT help me lose weight?
A: HIIT is one of the most efficient workout methods for fat loss when combined with proper nutrition. The high-intensity nature of the workout increases your metabolic rate for hours after exercising, meaning you continue burning calories long after you've left the gym. Our members consistently report significant progress toward their weight management goals through our HIIT-based training approach.
Q: What makes Fitclub different from other affordable gyms in the area?
A: While many gyms offer low monthly fees, Fitclub combines affordability with a uniquely supportive community environment, expert-led classes, personalized attention, and a holistic approach to wellness that addresses physical, nutritional, and spiritual dimensions. Our members frequently tell us they've tried other gyms but stay with Fitclub because of the community and results they experience here.
